Sandra Hüller stars in the director's third historical film after "Ida" and "Cold War", a black-and-white drama about Thomas Mann's return to postwar Germany. A nine-member committee chaired by producer Jan Naszewski selected the 82-minute feature, which won Best Director at Cannes in May. Pawlikowski's "Ida" became the first Polish film to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2015; "Cold War" followed with three nominations including Best Director.
